iRobot seeks entry to Downing Street

Now No 10 has a new tenant, iRobot is offering to help clean up Downing Street and has sent an official letter (see below) to the new Prime Minister. With the recent expenses and donations scandals, politics has been left in a slightly grubby state. So, iRobot is offering Mr Cameron a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner for a spotlessly clean start in office.

Dear Prime Minister,

First things first, congratulations on your victory in this hard-fought election. The team at iRobot, the domestic robotic company, would like to send you our warmest regards and hope you are settling in well at Number 10.

You’re bound to be busy in the first few weeks of your historic coalition government. In fact, that’s why we’re writing to you. You’ll have undoubtedly noticed that expenses and donations scandals have left politics in a slightly grubby state. So, we’d like to offer you a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner to clean up Number 10, and give you and your new coalition government a spotlessly clean start in office.

The Roomba is the world’s best-selling household robot. It can be programmed to vacuum automatically however often you want, and does a thorough job thanks to its three-stage cleaning process that cleans any floor surface efficiently and intelligently.

Over 60 per cent of people name their Roomba, so it’s the perfect addition to your Number 10 team: a loyal aide in the battle to clean up politics, and introduce a smart, tidy new era of government.

Please let us know if you’d be happy to take delivery of your very own Roomba.
